From Oct. 17 to Oct. 31 FilAm Creative will be celebrating all things Filipino and horror. Halo-Haloween is hosted and programmed by FilAm director Walter Boholst and his new horror film “Voodoo Possession.” Contributions by Natasia Gascon and Mark Owen.
Ryan Caltagirone won out in a tough casting process that had many top notch actors. Complicating casting was the fact that the 2 lead brother characters had to be good actors and could pull off being brothers. Ultimately Ryan was a quality actor, professional, had a vulnerability to go with his leading man quality.

Kerry Knuppe beat out about 1500 submissions for the role of Bree. She had the right combination of strength, softness, vulnerability and also being in that space between young and womanhood. And she’s also a phenomenal actress.

They are Bacao directed by Boy Vinarao, Hukluban from Gil Portes, Sigaw sa Hatinggabi from Romy Suzara and T’yanak from Peque Gallaga and Lore Reyes.
